GARDEN VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in large, heavy-bottomed stockpot over medium-low heat. Once hot, add the leeks, garlic, and a pinch of salt and sweat until they begin to soften, approximately 7 to 8 minutes. Add the carrots, potatoes, and green beans and continue to cook for 4 to 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the stock, increase the heat to high, and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, add the tomatoes, corn kernels, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the vegetables are fork tender, approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat and add the parsley and lemon juice. Season, to taste, with kosher salt. Serve immediately.

GRANNY'S GARDEN SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Open two large cans or whole or crushed tomatoes and pour into a large soup pot.
• 2. rinse to cans with 1/2 cup of water each and add to the soup pot. Add one heaping tablespoon of beef soup base or bullion. Set pot on the stove and set to low heat,
• 3. clean core and chop the cabbage, peel the onion and carrots
• 4. chop the carrots, celery, cabbage and onions thick or thin depending on how you like it, (I like big spoon-sized pieces)and add to the soup pot
• 5. start cooking on medium-high heat until the soup starts to boil.
• 6. add frozen mixed vegetables, pepper, basil and oregano, return to a boil, cover and allow to simmer for up to two hours. (I like my veggies crispier so I don't cook quite as long)

GRANNY'S HOMEMADE SOUP

Steps:

• Wash chicken.
• Put in large pot and cover above chicken with hot water about 1 inch.
• Open tomatoes and drain juice into pot.
• Crush tomatoes with hands and add to pot.
• Wash celery and carrots, then slice and add to pot.
• Bring to a boil and then cover and lower temp to a low boil and cook 1 hour.
• Watch to make sure liquid doesn't boil out. If it gets low add a little more water.
• Remove chicken, set aside and let cool.
• Add potatoes and cook 30 more minutes.
• After potatoes are done, take 3 or 4 chunks and smash them on the side of the pan. This will help to thicken the soup.
• Add onion, tomato SOUP (or sauce), corn and butter beans and cook about 10 minutes.
• Pull the chicken off the bone and add to pot.
• Salt and Pepper to taste now or in your own bowl. I personally think salt is a must in this soup.
• Stir and serve.
• Delicious!
